Nice ambience, great dishes and service was good when the floor staff eventually got around to serving us. I suggest better resourcing. Great place to dine on lazy summer nights.

Loved the décor and ambience. Booked online requesting a table near a window and was happy to have been seated upstairs with a view of the Spirit of Tasmania all lit up. And getting the sea-breeze on such a hot night was great! All dishes we ordered were delicious and a good size serve. Service was a little poor though - we had to wait quite some time to be seated and a long time for our food to come out, even though the restaurant didn't appear to be busy, and over 20 mins to get our coffee at the end of the night.

Food was good. unfortunately we did not think to ask and we were not told by the wait staff that everything we ordered would arrive at the same time. Lacked some atmosphere. It was OK .. not great.. Another thing.. Food with three items should not be served to 2 people. explain this at the time of ordering. Probably would not return. Nothing to set it apart but, OK.

I used to love Mr Lawrence, but it seemed to have gone downhill when I last went. The menu was cut down and they don't open for lunch most days. A pity, but there are quite a few fish in the sea.

Tempting and tasty cocktails perfect for a warm Christmas Eve looking out over Port Melbourne beach. Absolutely beautiful share plates. Highlights for us were the haloumi and the potato sides! Thank you to accommodating staff. A new Christmas Eve tradition?

Nice atmosphere, great tasting food (particularly mezze). Unfortunately let down by slow service (missed drinks, very slow to take orders). Suited our purpose but likely won’t return.

Mr Lawrence is always great. Their Moroccan twist add lots of flavour to their menu. My favourite is to share plates and the lamb meat balls are a must. Their pizzas are also the best. They make their own light and airy based and top it with fresh ingredients.

The food was really good and we had a nice view of the bay . They communicated well when organising the booking and set menu for a larger group. They gave us plenty of time over lunch. We were there from 12:45 to 5:00pm and were never rushed or felt pushed to leave. Maybe, if anything, the food was a little bit slow coming but this did give us time to digest between courses. A pleasant and positive experience.

My favourite place in Port Melbourne. Service is always nice and friendly. The pizzas are delicious. I like the maze best...We.do a mix of meze and pizza or 2. Love the broccolini. Didn't give it a 6 because I find the chairs uncomfortable and portions of sides - fattouche and broccolini - seem to be getting smaller. But my 1st go to place always.
